The Baader-Meinhof phenomenon (also known as the Frequency Illusion): Once you learn something new or something captures your attention, you start to notice it everywhere and believe that it didn’t happen before at the same frequency.

I say a lot of “just” and a lot of “sorry”. Just wanted to follow up. Just wanted to double check. Sorry for missing your call. Sorry I was busy. Oh sorry I didn’t see it. It really takes practice to eliminate them and other walk-on-eggshells words
ladies, don’t forget to take “just” out of your emails. It undermines your power! but that’s just my opinion feel free to ignore :)
